CEO Commentary

"Our third quarter results were very strong despite the challenging operating dynamics. We remain intently focused on taking appropriate actions for our customers, our employees, and our communities during these uncertain times. I am very proud of the way our employees have responded to support our customers and each other.

Our financial performance once again highlighted the strength of our franchise and our ability to navigate the current environment. Our already strong capital and liquidity levels further improved this quarter, and our credit performance was better than previous expectations, indicative of our balance sheet strength which will serve us well throughout this challenging environment.

We have consistently communicated our through-the-cycle principles of disciplined client selection, conservative underwriting, and an overall balance sheet management approach focused on long-term performance. We have also executed numerous strategic actions over the last several years in anticipation of an eventual downturn in the economy.

Given the anticipated revenue headwinds, we are very focused on optimizing our expense base to maintain healthy levels of returns. To that end, we took proactive measures during the quarter to ensure Fifth Third continues to generate sustainable, long-term value for shareholders. We continue to believe we are well-positioned to emerge from the pandemic as a top performing regional bank."

Compared to the prior quarter, reported NII decreased $30 million, or 2%. Excluding purchase accounting accretion of $13 million in the current quarter and $15 million in the prior quarter, adjusted NII decreased $28 million, or 2%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in commercial and industrial (C&I) loans and the impact of lower market rates. These impacts were partially offset by the actions taken to reduce deposit costs, the full-quarter impact of PPP loans, the favorable impact of previously executed cash flow hedges, and day count. Compared to the prior quarter, reported and adjusted NIM decreased 17 bps and 16 bps, respectively, driven by the unfavorable impacts from elevated cash balances (approximately 15 bps drag on NIM compared to the prior quarter), lower market rates, and lower C&I loan balances, partially offset by benefits from lower deposit costs and previously executed cash flow hedges. NIM was negatively impacted approximately 48 bps due to PPP loans and excess liquidity compared to historical balances.
Compared to the year-ago quarter, reported NII decreased $73 million, or 6%. Excluding purchase accounting accretion, adjusted NII decreased $58 million, or 5%, primarily reflecting lower market rates and lower commercial loan balances, partially offset by reduced deposit costs and the favorable impact of previously executed cash flow hedges, as well as growth in both the indirect secured consumer (predominantly indirect automobile) and lower-yielding PPP portfolios. Compared to the year-ago quarter, reported NIM decreased 74 bps. Adjusted NIM, which excludes purchase accounting accretion, decreased 70 bps, primarily reflecting the impact of elevated cash balances and lower market rates, partially offset by benefits from lower deposit costs and previously executed cash flow hedges.

Compared to the prior quarter, service charges on deposits increased $22 million, or 18%, with improving commercial deposit fees reflecting a partial normalization of treasury management service volumes and lower earnings credits, as well as elevated consumer deposit fees compared to the prior quarter which included hardship-related fee waivers. Commercial banking revenue decreased $12 million, or 9%, primarily reflecting a decrease from the record high capital markets revenue in the prior quarter. Mortgage banking net revenue decreased $23 million, or 23%, primarily driven by an unfavorable MSR net valuation adjustment and an increase in MSR decay resulting from higher prepayment speeds. Current quarter mortgage originations of $4.5 billion increased 32% compared to the prior quarter. Wealth and asset management revenue increased $12 million, or 10%, primarily driven by higher personal asset management revenue and brokerage fees. Card and processing revenue increased $10 million, or 12%, reflecting increases in credit and debit transaction volumes. Leasing business revenue increased $20 million, or 35%, primarily driven by an increase in business solutions revenue.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, service charges on deposits increased $1 million, or 1%, as increased commercial deposit fees were partially offset by a decline in consumer deposit fees. Commercial banking revenue increased $2 million, or 2%, reflecting increases in both debt and equity capital markets revenue, partially offset by lower M&A advisory fees and financial risk management revenue. Mortgage banking net revenue decreased $19 million, or 20%, primarily driven by an unfavorable MSR net valuation adjustment and an increase in MSR decay resulting from higher prepayment speeds, partially offset by improved gain on sale margin and higher mortgage originations. Wealth and asset management revenue increased $8 million, or 6%, primarily driven by higher personal asset management revenue and brokerage fees. Card and processing revenue decreased by $2 million, or 2%, primarily reflecting lower commercial card transaction volumes, partially offset by elevated debit transaction volumes and lower rewards.

Compared to the prior quarter, total average portfolio loans and leases decreased 4%, primarily driven by a decline in C&I loans, partially offset by an increase in indirect secured consumer loans (predominantly indirect automobile). Average commercial portfolio loans and leases decreased 7%, reflecting lower C&I revolving line of credit utilization and a decline in commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by the full-quarter impact of PPP loans. Average consumer portfolio loans were flat, as higher indirect secured consumer loans were offset by lower home equity and credit card balances.
Compared to the year-ago quarter, total average portfolio loans and leases increased 3%, reflecting growth in C&I loans as well as continued growth in indirect secured consumer loans. Average commercial portfolio loans and leases increased 4%, reflecting elevated C&I balances predominantly from PPP loans and growth in commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by the expected decline in commercial leases. Average consumer portfolio loans increased 3%, as higher indirect secured consumer loans were partially offset by lower home equity and credit card balances.

Total period-end commercial portfolio loans and leases of $71 billion (including $5.2 billion in PPP loan balances) decreased $4 billion, or 6%, from the prior quarter, and increased $1 billion, or 1%, from the year-ago quarter. The sequential decline reflected lower revolving line utilization throughout the current quarter. Period-end commercial revolving line utilization was 33%, compared to 38% in the prior quarter and 36% in the year-ago quarter.
Average available-for-sale debt and other securities of $35.4 billion (amortized cost) decreased 2% compared to the prior quarter and increased 2% compared to the year-ago quarter.

Capital ratios remained strong and grew during the quarter. The CET1 capital ratio was 10.14%, the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 6.99% excluding AOCI, and 8.31% including AOCI. The Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 11.64%, the Total risk-based capital ratio was 14.93%, and the Tier I leverage ratio was 8.37%. Certain capital ratios, including the Tier I leverage ratio, continued to be impacted by the increase in assets since the onset of the pandemic, predominantly from growth in 0% risk-weighted assets resulting from an increase in interest-bearing cash as well as PPP loans.
On September 17, 2020, the Federal Reserve released its hypothetical scenarios for its second round of stress tests under the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) process due to continued uncertainty from COVID-19. Fifth Third will be resubmitting its own base and stress scenario projections to the Federal Reserve by November 2, 2020. Additionally, on September 30, 2020, the Federal Reserve announced it has extended for an additional quarter several measures to ensure that large banks such as Fifth Third maintain a high level of capital resilience, including prohibiting share repurchases through at least the fourth quarter of 2020, as well as capping dividend payments tied to a formula based on recent income.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to GAAP measures, management considers various non-GAAP measures when evaluating the performance of the business, including: “net interest income (FTE),” “interest income (FTE),” “net interest margin (FTE),” “net interest rate spread (FTE),” “income before income taxes (FTE),” “tangible net income available to common shareholders,” “average tangible common equity,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “tangible common equity (excluding AOCI),” “tangible common equity (including AOCI),” “tangible equity,” “tangible book value per share,” “adjusted noninterest income,” “noninterest income excluding certain items,” “adjusted noninterest expense,” “noninterest expense excluding certain items,” “pre-provision net revenue,” “adjusted efficiency ratio,” “adjusted return on average common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income,” “adjusted net interest margin,” “adjusted pre-provision net revenue,” “adjusted return on average assets,” “efficiency ratio (FTE),” “total revenue (FTE),” and certain ratios derived from these measures. The Bancorp believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors because these are among the measures used by the Fifth Third management team to evaluate operating performance and to make day-to-day operating decisions.

The FTE basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and securities held by the Bancorp that are not taxable for federal income tax purposes. The Bancorp believes this presentation to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and net interest margin as it provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.

The Bancorp believes tangible net income available to common shareholders, average tangible common equity, tangible common equity (excluding AOCI), tangible common equity (including AOCI), tangible equity, tangible book value per share and return on average tangible common equity are important measures for evaluating the performance of the business without the impacts of intangible items, whether acquired or created internally, in a manner comparable to other companies in the industry who present similar measures.

The Bancorp believes noninterest income, noninterest expense, net interest income, net interest margin, pre-provision net revenue, efficiency ratio, return on average common equity, return on average tangible common equity, and return on average assets are important measures that adjust for significant, unusual, or large transactions that may occur in a reporting period which management does not consider indicative of ongoing financial performance and enhances comparability of results with prior periods.

The Bancorp believes noninterest income excluding certain items and noninterest expense excluding certain items are important measures that adjust for certain components that are prone to significant period-to-period changes in order to facilitate the explanation of variances in the noninterest income and noninterest expense line items.

Management considers various measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including the tangible equity and tangible common equity (including and excluding AOCI), in addition to capital ratios defined by U.S. banking agencies. These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by U.S. banking agencies for both absolute and comparative purposes. These ratios are not formally defined by U.S. GAAP or codified in the federal banking regulations and, therefore, are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that providing the tangible common equity ratio excluding AOCI on certain assets and liabilities enables investors and others to assess the Bancorp’s use of equity without the effects of changes in AOCI, some of which are uncertain; providing the tangible common equity ratio including AOCI enables investors and others to assess the Bancorp’s use of equity if components of AOCI, such as unrealized gains or losses, were to be monetized.

Please note that although non-GAAP financial measures provide useful insight, they should not be considered in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for analysis using GAAP measures.

Please see Reg. G reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP measures used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, beginning on the following page.

Cautionary statement This presentation contains statements that we believe are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 promulgated thereunder. These statements relate to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance or business. They usually can be identified by the use of forward-looking language such as “will likely result,” “may,” “are expected to,” “is anticipated,” “potential,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “projected,” “intends to,” or may include other similar words or phrases such as “believes,” “plans,” “trend,” “objective,” “continue,” “remain,” or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “can,” or similar verbs. You should not place undue reliance on these statements, as they are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the risk factors set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as updated by our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission [“SEC”]. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind these risks and uncertainties, as well as any cautionary statements we may make. Moreover, you should treat these statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on information then actually known to us. We undertake no obligation to release revisions to these forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document. There are a number of important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (1) effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic; (2) deteriorating credit quality; (3) loan concentration by location or industry of borrowers or collateral; (4) problems encountered by other financial institutions; (5) inadequate sources of funding or liquidity; (6) unfavorable actions of rating agencies; (7) inability to maintain or grow deposits; (8) limitations on the ability to receive dividends from subsidiaries; (9) cyber-security risks; (10) Fifth Third’s ability to secure confidential information and deliver products and services through the use of computer systems and telecommunications networks; (11) failures by third-party service providers; (12) inability to manage strategic initiatives and/or organizational changes; (13) inability to implement technology system enhancements; (14) failure of internal controls and other risk management systems; (15) losses related to fraud, theft or violence; (16) inability to attract and retain skilled personnel; (17) adverse impacts of government regulation; (18) governmental or regulatory changes or other actions; (19) failures to meet applicable capital requirements; (20) regulatory objections to Fifth Third’s capital plan; (21) regulation of Fifth Third’s derivatives activities; (22) deposit insurance premiums; (23) assessments for the orderly liquidation fund; (24) replacement of LIBOR; (25) weakness in the national or local economies; (26) global political and economic uncertainty or negative actions; (27) changes in interest rates; (28) changes and trends in capital markets; (29) fluctuation of Fifth Third’s stock price; (30) volatility in mortgage banking revenue; (31) litigation, investigations, and enforcement proceedings by governmental authorities; (32) breaches of contractual covenants, representations and warranties; (33) competition and changes in the financial services industry; (34) changing retail distribution strategies, customer preferences and behavior; (35) difficulties in identifying, acquiring or integrating suitable strategic partnerships, investments or acquisitions; (36) potential dilution from future acquisitions; (37) loss of income and/or difficulties encountered in the sale and separation of businesses, investments or other assets; (38) results of investments or acquired entities; (39) changes in accounting standards or interpretation or declines in the value of Fifth Third’s goodwill or other intangible assets; (40) inaccuracies or other failures from the use of models; (41) effects of critical accounting policies and judgments or the use of inaccurate estimates; (42) weather-related events, other natural disasters, or health emergencies; and (43) the impact of reputational risk created by these or other developments on such matters as business generation and retention, funding and liquidity. You should refer to our periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC,” for further information on other factors, which could cause actual results to be significantly different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results. In this presentation, we may sometimes provide non-GAAP financial information. Please note that although non-GAAP financial measures provide useful insight to analysts, investors and regulators, they should not be considered in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for analysis using GAAP measures. We provide a discussion of non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in later slides in this presentation, as well as on pages 26 through 28 of our 3Q20 earnings release. Management does not provide a reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the occurrence and the financial impact of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Bancorp's control or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Bancorp's management is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
